Www.GreenJoyment.com ** We took three solar cookers, and compared them side-by-side performance, as they did for cooking 4 cups of water. E ‘was a windy day, so that the cooker can not be performed the best they could … but we tested a solar cooker funnel, a CooKit solar, and solar cooker eagle. http We had a lot of fun experimenting kitchens, and you can see a little ‘of the food that we cooked in these kitchens on our website.

The pans were painted black on the underside, but yes… you﻿ are 100% correct. I’ve learned a LOT since I did these videos thanks to comments like yours, so thank-you very much for watching and commenting! Have you had good experiences with your solar cooking?

You are using a reflective surface inside a reflective surface. the water will not boil unless it has color in it. You need to use black bottom pots NOT aluminum. You﻿ could have gotten it so hot it would boil if you had used black water pots.

It is my understanding that using the glass bowl method, the container within the﻿ glass bowl needs about an inch of space on all sides to work correctly. I’d be damn careful about using non-oven safe plastic inside a cooker as well, as it’s likely to outgas. Thanks.

Thanx for quick reply! The only problem is that it is hard to carry box cooker and harder to produce, especially from the commercial point of view. I would like to sell them here in Palestine therefore I have to make them portable﻿ so it will be possible to pass Zionist entity roadbloacks

It is definitely possible in a box cooker. A parabolic reflector solar cooker can boil water in 20 minutes or less. A fresnel lens focused on a pot can boil water faster than a stove. The hottest I got with these cookers was 170F, so not hot enough to boil water,﻿ but hot enough to kill bacteria. I didn’t quite understand how this worked then… but I learned a lot and know what to do next time.

The panel cooker works better on non-windy days–without a box to act as an oven, the wind can blow a good﻿ portion of your heat away. That’s mitigated by using an oven bag around your cookpot. Unless your lid is very tight-fitting, you’ll lose heat through it with your glass bowl method.

Lop off the bottom of the funnel cooker and attach it to a box with a plexiglas or plastic wrap cover and you have yourself a box oven.

Not exactly. In short, I was trying this out for the first time 2 years ago when I made﻿ these videos. But I learned much & have been sharing a lot of that learning through GreenJoyment. And actually, solar cookers and solar cooking are incredibly effective. There are lots of videos on YouTube here of people who have built homemade solar cookers which get temps up to 375F (190 Celsius) and hotter. They work super well.
